“What a terrible shame,” Carrey said in a statement Monday. “It would be easy for me to get in a back room with this man’s lawyer and make this go away, but there are some moments in life when you have to stand up and defend your honor against the evil in this world. I will not tolerate this heartless attempt to exploit me or the woman I loved. Cat’s troubles were born long before I met her and sadly her tragic end was beyond anyone’s control. I really hope that some day soon people will stop trying to profit from this and let her rest in peace.”

According to Burton’s lawyer, Carrey was complicit in White’s death, by supplying her the prescription drugs that she used to overdose on. He also accused him of failing to alert authorities around the time of her death.
